chairmangao Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Why would any self-respecting player from Maryland call themselves Duke? Wouldn't that be like a Skins player's nickname being "Dallas"? Well here's the answer folks. In his sophomore year, he caught something like 4 TD passes against Duke. He OWNED Duke. And then people started calling him Duke, and that's why now he's known as "Duke Davis." Anyways, the nickname VD isn't so bad. He burns defenses.

Big Weirdo Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I don't see what the big deal is. Duke and Maryland football are so far apart it's not even funny. He's a football player. They don't have a huge rivarly in football. It's about basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
